The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Water Tank designed for the WPU1550A, WPP1550A, WPP1550W, and WPP1550Aw series reversible vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part matches the original component to ensure a correct, trouble-free installation. It is compatible across the full WPU1550 and WPP1550 reversible plate family, including both standard and water-ballasted variants.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Water Capacity: — Engineered to hold and deliver the correct water volume for consistent surface wetting during asphalt and paving stone compaction passes.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement: — Matches the original mounting configuration on WPU1550 and WPP1550 series plates, so installation follows the same steps as the factory unit.
- Broad WPP1550 and WPU1550 Fitment: — Covers WPU1550A, WPU1550Aw, WPP1550A, WPP1550Aw, WPP1550W, WPP1550Ww, and WPU1550A-L reversible plate compactors in a single part number.
- Protects Surface Finish: — A functioning water tank prevents asphalt from sticking to the compaction plate, preserving the integrity of the finished surface and protecting the baseplate from buildup.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part: — Manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original, ensuring the tank seats, seals, and flows correctly without adaptation.
The water tank on a reversible vibratory plate compactor stores and supplies a steady flow of water to the compaction baseplate during asphalt and paving stone work. This continuous wetting prevents hot asphalt from adhering to the plate surface, which would otherwise drag and tear the mat rather than compact it cleanly. When the tank cracks, leaks, or fails to feed water properly, surface quality deteriorates and the baseplate can sustain sticky buildup that affects compaction efficiency and plate longevity.
